The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width &amp; height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) also known as red tea is a caffeine free natural tea, rich in antioxidants and also contains the following nutrients: calcium, copper, iron, fluoride, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc.

Suggested Use

Serve Hot or Cold.

Preparation:

Regular method: to enjoy the unique, mild aromatic taste of Rooibos tea, place 1 tsp. of tea or 1 tea bag of Rooibos tea per tea cup of boiling water into suitable container and allow to steep for 3 to 5 minutes. The longer you steep the more flavor and nutrients is released. Use fine tea strainer if using loose tea, when pouring into tea cups.

Microwave method: Making Rooibos tea in microwave is a quick and easy treat. For a single cup, microwave a cup of water at max. power for 2 minutes or until the water boils. Add 1 tsp. of tea or 1 tea bag of Rooibos tea, steep and strain if using loose tea. Enjoy it.

What is this? Expired product? It tastes like dust and air.

I cannot believe that you sent me two boxes of this tea. I waited until I could afford some little luxuries like this, and I get a tea with almost zero flavor and NO aroma at all? Red ROSE thats been sitting in a cabin for a decade tastes better than this! I can't believe it quite frankly.

Best rooibos ever!

I've tried a lot of rooibos teas as it's a fave of mine and this brand is far the best. Best value for money on this site in comparison to the others, it's organic and i can serve 2-3 cups with one tea bag and still get the full bodied flavour. Love it!
